I saw only one squirrel today. A little accident happened. The squirrel was sitting there on the roof edge, then it climbed down, and begun to eat. Suddenly the whole feeder fell down.. the platform was slippy. I have not nailed it because it is easier to keep clean that way.

Only one squirrel was seen today. It was a she, a familiar looking one, but, I wonder if she had got some injury on her right front paw.. She seemed not to dare to lean towards the platform with it, not even touch. While chewing and holding the nut she used both paws, but.. I don't know.. I tried to take a zoom of the paw.. one could see there something, like blood on fur, not much, and a little bulge (right word??) (pictures of the paw 'injury' will be there on the last post.

3:Some times I forget to remove the scratches made by the camera, but how to remove it with youtube tools I don't know..The only mean to take the noises away is to add music on the background.. But how to put it low beforehand, I don't know..Music: Mayfly, Terry Devine-King, Mark Anderson, Alicia Anderson, Nikolaj Bjerr

Anyway the squirrel female ate normal, she spent about 15 minutes on the feeder. Having stopped it climbed on the roof, but I didn't see if she then run over the yard towards the big spruce, or where she went.. Lets hope that the injury is not dangerous and will be healed soon.----I had one video more: The Wood pigeons are back. I saw two of today in the afternoon when dogs were inside.

Behind the fence:

In front of the fence, under the apple tree:

The tail of the second wood pigeon can be seen on the video ..I edited the video by help of youtube tools, it takes about one hour to get ready, a bit better than it is for the moment, at 22:48.

These days I see one of our squirrels (a dark brown) running to and fro with grass/hay. Funny thing is, it keeps on going up the tree, from the tree to the roof of the house, along the roof, to the next tree, down, up the next one, jumps to another, down again, up another - and there I think the construction site is. If it would just run 3 more meters on the ground, it would be around the corner of the house and could go up the tree it usually goes up after coming down from the roof ... it's really funny to watch it!

Hope you squirrel's injury is healing soon and well, Olga!

If only one could know if they have been attacked by some prey bird or perhaps by some mammal, Pine marten or someone else. I think I have got to know that squirrels are not so aggressive towards each other...*sigh*

The female with an injured paw visited. She was there almost for one hour at 8:00. I happened to saw her to climb down from the big spruce. She was careful and approached the garden.

BTW: I think she deserves a name. Let's call her as Paula.

She stopped first on the stone terrace by a sun flower seed pile. She looked to be hungry. She kept her right front paw as same way as on the 26th March we saw that she had got an njury. But she had good appetite. She sat there on the stones for 30 minutes eating all the time.

The lighting was easier today. Perhpas the injury can be seen better. It may be aching or something like that. She does not use the right front paw for stepping. On the other hand she moves in a normal way as far as I can see.

Some seconds on the videos I have put slow.. there should be a mark 'slow' to see..
